chapter 1.
ryu woke up in his penthouse apartment trying to figure out why he was on the floor and why his drapes were on fire. after grabbing some water and putting out his drapes it started coming back to him. he had been arguin with his riolu about who was cooler, dave or dirk srider, the argument got so heated that she used blaze kick and knocked him out and set his drapes on fire. its really lucky she didnt have the move down yet and couldnt make a proprer flame enough to ignite him but unfortunately they were enough to burn his drapes.
after doing that he decided he needed to take in his appearence and make sure he wasnt seriously injured. besides a bit of soreness on his face he felt fine but he learned after a bad encounter with some leeches that no matter how good you feel unless you check it out you could be dying. he went to the mirror and didnt really mind what he saw. his features while not chiseled werent that bad to look at. infact he quite liked looking at himself. but enough admiring himself, he needed to treat the burn on his cheek. after treating his wounds... he was bored. really... really... bored.
" i need to do something with my life. i mean just sitting here all the time is killing me and making my pokemon restless. normally riolu will just get pissy and go in her ball not all out attack me." what he didnt know was the a little blue ball of fluff was standing right behind him.
" well if you dont like it maybe we should start on our journey." riolu said from behind him " i mean really man the last time you went out that didnt involve food was two weeks ago when you went to the daycare center to bother your friend." riolu while being much stronger than ryu could ever be was an annoying broad who he could only handle in small doses. but no matter how annoying she is - or potentially lethal - she was right. he had been prolonging it for far to long. turned 16 last year and he still hadnt started even though he meant to. he had met the guy at the daycare -cole was his name- last year a litte while after his birthday. they had become fast friends even though they tormened each other all the time. the day care is also where he met riolu, an egg that wasnt wanted by the trainer and had lived in the daycare for about a year before he adopted her. before that he had two other pokemon for a while. a female poochyena and a female ralts. even though he had them for so long they hadnt evolved because he never did any training. thats not to say they werent strong, because they were all tough, it just meant that compared to a trainer with the same pokemon who had had them for the same amount of time they werent nearly as strong as they would be. he could still beat the first gym but he just hadnt felt like starting. but seeing as his pokemon were starting to destroy his apartment (more so than usual) he figured if he didnt start he would be destroyed.
" alright i get your point. where are the others?"
" ralts and pochyena were partying all night last night so they are still in there balls with hangovers." ryu has a very bad habit of partying his ass off every two or three days. and his pokemon usually join in, getting drunk as hell and singing like assholes, but then again its all in good fun so no one gives a shit. usually at least half the building is up there partying with ryu and his pokemon and the other residents tend to bring there pokemon as well. the weirdest thing to ever happen at one of ryus parties was when one of his neighbors got thrown off the balcony and had to be rescued by someones charizard. he woudlnt have gotten thrown off in the first place if he hadnt tried to have sex with the extremly male rydon, but thats what happens when you get so drunk you cant see straight.
" well wake em up they need to be informed before we start."
" you got it boss" riolu said with an evil glint in her eye, she went over to where there pokeballs were sitting on a chair along with some girls panties who were never getting them back, and started violently shaking the balls effectively waking them up. when the sensory perception of a pokeball is on the pokemon get extremly uncomfortable if you start shaking the balls. its essentially the same sensation a fish gets if you shake its bag but with much less deadly results. a moment later ralts and poochyena exploded out of there balls in a burst of light.
"ok ryu this beter be good. because if you just woke me up from a hangover for nothing im going to crush your balls with my mind. and them im going to puke in your bed." ralts growled at me in a very pissed off voice. ralts was your typical party animal as well as being a bit of an alchohlic. but she was all around a nice girl. poochyena didnt say anything but then again she almost never did. poochyena due to reasons that are curently uknown didnt not talk very much and often went entire weeks without sayin a word. while this disconcerted ryu he wasnt going to press the issue. he figured if there was a reason behind it it would come out eventually.
" ok guys listen up. ive been thinking and riolu has been kicking me and ive come to a decision... were getting chinese food tonight!"
"yay" ralts squeled
"WHAT" riolu bellowed as is she were the devil himself
"well we cant start until there hangovers are gone, now can we? i mean seriously what would they do if i decided i want to go to the gym today? theyd get there asses kicked. so tonight were gonna have chinese food and then were gonna start tomorow. ok?"
"fine" riolu grumbled like a spoiled child.
"good. now ralts and poochyena you can go back to sleep for now, ill wake up when the food gets here. then tomorrow we are gonna start on our journey." ryu said while posing as if he had just won something.
"kay" ralts responded. and her and poochyen went back in there balls to sleep.
a few hours later ryu was at the daycare outside goldenrod looking for his buddy cole. after a short searcg he founds cole sitting on the fence watching his pokemon as well as the daycare pokemon eat. while ryu usually wore pinstriped suits that looked like they were tailored by god himself cole wore a blue hoodie with a great ball on he back as well blue jeans. and while ryu wore expensive leather dress shoes cole wore work boots that looked like they were kaked in poke-shit and probably were based on his proffesion.
"cole" ryu called over, cole turned around to look who it was and subsequently fell off the fence apparently those headphones while not enough to drown out ryus voice were more than enough to make him forget he was sitting on a fence. after picking himself up cole responded.
" ryu. whats up man? why do you smell like burning flesh?"
"long story anyway i came to tell you that tommorow im starting my journey. im gonna start here and go around till i got all the badges and then im gonna take down the champion."
" thats cool dude. actually i was planning on starting myself. i was just gonna hang around and make my pokemon tough rather than do gym challenges but i hadnt figured out a good route yet. hey i just got an idea, how about we travel together?"
" dude thts rockin' how about you meet me outside the goldenrod gym tommorow and well start?"
"ok thats fine. tommorow it is. later dude."
"later indeed." ryu left with a shit eating grin on his face. not only was he starting his journey tommorow but his budy cole was going with him.
this was goin to rock.
